Experience Edgewood
Attend an Open House event or tour the school. Both are great ways to learn more about Edgewood. Keep reading to learn all the ways you can become familiar with the Edgewood experience.
School Tours
A school tour is one of the most comprehensive ways to get to know Edgewood's program and community. Parents are welcome to bring their child on a tour, although most choose for their child to visit campus at a separate time. Interested students and families are invited to schedule a school tour for a chance to walk the halls, look in on classes, get a feel for our community and ask questions.
When: Scheduled most Monday - Thursdays between 8:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Length: Approx. 75 minutes

Shadow Day Program
Shadowing is not a mandatory part of the application process, but it is a great opportunity to learn about our community! Your 8, 9 or 10th grade student will go to classes, walk the halls, hear from teachers and get a sense of the social life at EHS by spending the day shadowing a current student. Each shadow will be matched with a student ambassador in the grade they will be entering at the start of school. We match students with similar co-curricular interests, academics, and/or same middle school. Our community strives to make all guests feel comfortable and shadowing is a common experience here. Shadowing is not a mandatory part of the application process, but it is a great opportunity to learn about our community!
When: Scheduled most Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays between the last week of September and the first week of May.
Time: 7:40 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. (see extended schedule below)
